PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — On June 21, Michael R. Vanderpool will be recognized with the Vision Award, the highest honor given by Leadership Prince William (LPW).
The award will be presented during the organization’s annual Evening of Excellence Gala at the Clubs at Quantico.
According to LPW Executive Director Andrea Money, “The Vision Award honors an individual who lives or works in Prince William County, the City of Manassas or the City of Manassas Park. The recognition is for innovative, strategic or bold leadership that has had a positive impact on a significant portion of our community.” She went on to note that the magnitude and scope of the impact are the primary criteria for the award, making the respected attorney, entrepreneur and community advocate an ideal choice.
Vanderpool will join past winners including the 2018 winners, late Prince William County Supervisor John Jenkins and his wife, Ernestine.
Mary Colgan Finnigan, the Chair of LPW’s Board of Regents, added, “From the time Mike began his firm in Manassas he has been a champion for our community, taking on leadership roles in various organizations and projects. Mike is truly, a man of vision, and he has worked diligently to make our community a wonderful place to live, work, and play.”
Vanderpool has been a community advocate and successful businessman since moving to Manassas in the 1970s. To date he has founded five businesses, remaining actively involved in four, including the law firm of Vanderpool, Frostick & Nishanian, P.C.
Aside from his professional credentials, Vanderpool has cultivated a legacy of encouraging, fostering, and educating future leaders in Prince William County. He is known for being a forward thinker who leads the charge in developing new projects that will take the Prince William County or Greater Manassas Community to the next level, most notably in the arena of “quality of life” issues.
Within his law firm, leadership and community involvement are encouraged and modeled among the associates. Three members of his firm have served as chairmen of the Prince William Chamber of Commerce, including himself. Three have gone through LPW.
Current associates are known Chairpersons and actively serve in organizations such as local nonprofits, the Virginia Women’s Attorney Association, Rotary Clubs and the Virginia Indigent Defense Commission. All of this work is encouraged by Vanderpool who believes in and teaches on the art of leadership.
Vanderpool has been an active participant in shaping the greater Prince William community for the common good. He was part of the visionary group that recognized the need for the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Prince William County and brought the project to fruition, serving as the organization’s founding Chairman. He has also served as founding Chair for the Manassas Education Foundation, Freedom Aquatic & Fitness Center, 234 Bypass Forum, I-66 Partnership and more.
The public is invited to join with LPW in celebrating the contributions of Vanderpool. Tickets for the Evening of Excellence are available for purchase online or by calling 571-765-7568. The Honorable Marty Nohe will serve as Master of Ceremonies for this year’s festivities.
